A woman reportedly suffering from dementia allegedly murdered her
husband and then continued to cook him dinner for the following two
days.
Police say that Fredericka Rosa, 77, fatally shot her husband,
79-year-old Valpa C. Rosa, in mid-July, according to PhillyBurbs.com.
The Pemberton Township woman was alone with the body for 48 hours,
during which time she continued to prepare meals for her husband, and
even called other family members to ask where he was when he didn’t show
up for dinner. Authorities discovered the body when one of the couple’s
children called the police.
In an interview with NBC 10, the two Rosa children said their mother
had Alzheimer’s disease and suffered from dementia, and that she was
physically disabled.
They also said she had endured years of abuse from her husband.
“I understand why my mama did it,” Valpa Rosa Jr. told the station.
“He drove her insane,” said Rosetta Rosa. “He drove her to the point where she picked up the gun and shot him.”
The couple had been married for 54 years.Fredericka Rosa was arrested
after the body was discovered. She faces charges of first-degree murder
and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.
On Tuesday, a county grand jury returned the indictment,but a date
for her arraignment has not been set. WAOO, After many years Together!
